Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 30 minutes Yield: 5 servings
Ingredients:
- 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup water
- 4 tsp. garlic powder
- 2 tsp. smoked paprika
- 1/4 tsp. black pepper
- 1/2 cup hot sauce
- 2 tbsp. plant-based butter, melted
- 1/2 tbsp. lemon juice
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 450°F. Either spray a baking sheet with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a large bowl, thoroughly mix flour, water, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until the batter achieves a smooth consistency. Add cauliflower to the batter and ensure they are evenly coated.
- Arrange the cauliflower on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, leaving some space between each piece. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes, remembering to flip them over halfway through cooking, until they are lightly browned.
- Meanwhile, in a separate small bowl, combine the hot sauce, melted butter, and lemon juice until the mixture is well blended.
- Once the cauliflower has been partially baked, brush the buffalo sauce mixture generously onto each piece.
- Return the baking sheet to the oven and continue baking until the cauliflower begins to further brown, approximately 10 minutes.
- Serve the buffalo cauliflower hot, optionally accompanied by ranch dressing, celery/sweet peas, carrots, and radishes for dipping. Enjoy!
Tips and Tricks:
- Serve the buffalo cauliflower immediately for the best taste and texture. Garnish with fresh herbs like chopped parsley or cilantro for an extra pop of color and flavor.
